I want to welcome everyone to the Daily Accountability Check-In. Our goal is to stay accountable and on track by posting our daily food and exercise choices. All food and exercise programs are welcome. Consistency is the key to reaching our weight loss goals.

Introduce yourself or jump right in and tell us what you have been doing.

Here's to the start of a great month!

I started my most recent weight loss journey January 2008.
I lost 1/2 of my starting body weight and entered into maintenance May 2011.
Now the real work begins!

Maintenance Weight Range 150-155 <-- this was in the past, my current goal is to get below 160 and I will reassess from there

You can fight it, or do what you've got to do to get it done. The choice is yours. ~Diana

this is Day 1 for me, just meal planning and getting the kitchen ready.

Goals for the month: lose 1-2 lbs per week. Run with run club. Track all cals and $ daily.

I lost my way when I couldn't get a grasp on my goals- my medium term goal is to run 5k again, lots and for fun! and to attend my aunt's Nov wedding in a size 14 dress (1-2 sizes down). It would be FAB to have to have it altered but I'll settle for having it zip up!

Last night I was trying to come up with a reward for myself if I reach this month's goal (129.9) and the first thing that came to mind was chocolate cake. But then I remembered I can eat chocolate cake now if I wanted to (as long as I stay within my daily calories) and decided to make an appointment to get my spider veins taken care of instead. Win-win!

I'm new here but happy to have found a support group I can be accountable to. Originally I started out at 220 got down to 140 and felt great, kept it off for two years. Then my daughter moved back home and my good eating went to pot :-( so here I am starting back again needing to lose these aweful 40 lbs.
